Review of Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) by Noel V — 22 May 2010
A masterpiece. Hollywood refused to allow Ophuls too many of his trademark long shots, but even so you do recognize the Ophuls style--in shorter gasps, perhaps, but whole and consistent. More than mere long takes you see people in the grip of the moment, their every senses poised, alert, knowing that the volatile nature of life and turmoil will transform them irrevocably, like butterflies at the edge of a flame.
